We focused our learning on teeth and dental hygiene throughout this week. Students were given various opportunities to develop good dental care practices: - a toothpaste art project focusing on circular fine motor movements and thorough brushing!- construction of a crocodile with a mouthful of triangular teeth to practice brushing- representing numerals 1 to 10 with toothpick tangibles- sorting good and bad things for our teeth- singing the Brush, Brush, Brush song to strengthen language skills Next Wednesday, staff from Able Dental will come to teach us even more about correct tongue scraping, flossing and brushing techniques. Can't wait!

We enjoyed the spring weather by playing outside to strengthen our gross motor skills. We also rehearsed dances, sometimes following directions and sometimes freestyling in a creative way. In addition to printing and building upper and lowercase forms, we practiced the letter Tt by exploring related vocabulary, reading sound-based stories, listening to sound-based songs.

In the coming weeks, we will focus on Earth Day and the ways we can keep our planet healthy. We will expand on the season of spring and celebrate new life in reference by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We will dive into a comparative study of 2D shapes and 3D objects. Specifically, the circle and the sphere will be explored.
